Looked at a spec home today that had a fairly good sized crack in the foundation floor (took lots of pretty pics). There was also an area of the floor that looked like a speed bump, like an attempt was made to patch another crack. No moisture, and both sides of the crack looked level.
This house is less than a year old. I called for an inspection by someone who knows a crack from a crack, but I know I will get the calls tomorrow.
I'm characteristically very conservative with things like this, and want some feedback as to what others think. Is this common? The soil in this area is clay, and I have seen some older homes with cracks but not usually in one so new.
Hoping someone out there will tell me that it is a problem so that I will feel justified when I stand my ground about the inspection (which I always do, can't hurt, right?). Anybody know about cracks on the floor, and not the walls?
